Plaque psoriasis or psoriasis
vulgaris

Plaque psoriasis or
psoriasis vulgaris, which is the most common form of the disease (80% of cases), has slightly raised, sharply demarcated red patches, covered with layers of white-silvery scales, the plaques formed
can trigger itching and/or burning.

Although plaque
psoriasis may appear in any part of the body, usually it is localized onextensor surfaces (sites of trauma) such as the elbows, knees, scalp and the lumbosacral region. In any case it is not excluded that this same type of
psoriasis may involve other skin areas, such as the palm of the hands and the soles of the feet, the toenails, the fingernails or the genitals, so as to characterize a specific type of psoriasis for
each different location.

The appearance of plaque
is typically symmetric; the number of lesions can vary from a few isolated elements to numerous confluent lesions involving the whole skin (generalized psoriasis).

The lesions have
four fundamental features:

- They are sharply
demarcated patches.

- The surface is
formed by non-cohesive silver scales.

- Underneath the
scales of the skin, it is shown a bright and homogenous erythema.

- The sign of
Auspitz is observed.

The lesions are of
variable size from the size of the head of a pin to patches that cover large areas of the body. They persist for months or years and constantly produce a large amount of scales with little alteration
in size or distribution of the individual patches. Occasionally the lesions converge and form plaques in which the edges resemble a map.

Causes

Recent research suggests that psoriasis is a disease probably related to abnormal immune system. Special blood cells that identify and destroy foreign
material, such as viruses and bacteria, called white blood cells (or leukocytes) are part of the immune system. There are two types of white blood cells: T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes, when the T
lymphocytes identify a substance or a foreign body it attacks it. When B cells identify a foreign body it produces instead special chemical substances called antibodies, these attach to the foreign
body and destroy it. Psoriasis is associated with abnormal activity of the immune system, and especially of T-lymphocytes, as regards the skin. The T cells cause inflammation of the skin and cause
skin cells to reproduce abnormally and excessively.

About one third of cases
of psoriasis is hereditary. The researchers are studying families affected by psoriasis to identify the genes underlying the disease.

The cutaneous manifestation cyclically improves and then
deteriorate again, among the conditions that can cause deterioration or triggering of the outbreaks are:

Climate changes (usually the condition improves in summer and worsens in
winter),

Physical traumas,

Infections (beta-hemolytic streptococcal infections, candida,
HIV),

Stress,

Drugs (beta-blockers commonly used to treat high blood pressure such as
propranolol atenolol, sotalol), lithium salts, antimalarials (such as chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine), NSAIDs, angiotensin inhibitors also used for hypertension.

Alcoholism,

Smoking.

The treatment of plaque psoriasis depends on the extent and
severity of the condition, if it is a localized psoriasis, the treatment of choice is a topical treatment and in moderate and severe forms, systemic therapy (methotrexate, cyclosporine, retinoids and
in refractory cases the biological therapy) is associated with a topical treatment).

The use of Psotherapy gel and cream is recommended for this
clinical form of psoriasis due to the acceptance of this natural product by patients, with which remarkable improvement has been obtained even in generalized forms of the disease without presenting
adverse effects until now.

It is also recommended to avoid stress by performing relaxation
exercises, music therapy, herbal medicine (natural medicine, bach flowers), homeopathy; which is currently considered the fifth alternative in the treatment of psoriasis.

It is recommended a healthy diet with vegetables, fruits,
without an excess of unsaturated fats, always useful in all chronic conditions.

There is also a treatment called helio-thalasso-therapy that is
nothing more than the combination of sea and sun baths, which causes improvement in most patients, since there is a small percentage where psoriasis is exacerbated by exposure to
Sun.
